IND vs SA, 2nd T20I: Temba Bavuma wins toss, opts to field first

Cuttack: 

In the second T20I of the five-match series between India and South Africa, the latter’s captain has chosen to bowl first in Barabati Stadium, Cuttack.

Recovering from the woes of the first game’s defeat Rishabh Pant-led India will look for a improved performance of the batters. Whereas the Proteas will continue with their already-hit formula.

“We will have a bowl first. We don’t know how the wicket will play. It was easier to bat second in the last game. You can chase anything with smaller boundaries, You need to stay in the fight as bowlers. We have two forced injuries. QDK has a hammy injury,” said Temba Bavuma after the toss. 

“The track is really nice. We would want to have a big score on this. There wasn’t many things we did wrong. We are playing the same team,” said Pant in post-toss presentation.
